Il Motel DARN,

1t was my privilege to visitthe celebrated
Darlington dairy, eighteen miles from
Philadelphia. Messrs. Jesse and lard
Darlington were born to the butter bust
ness, their father having carried it on at
the same place. They own $50 acres of
rolling land, which yields grass and grain
of good quality, keep 27O COWS, whose
milk is converted into butter, which sells
at very high prices. The new milk is
strained into tin cans, conveyed to the
factory, and passed through centrifugal
separators, which extract the cream from
the milk-the cream runs ont at one spout
and the milk at another. -Four separators
are required, all running at the same time,
to do the work. The separator in motion,
with the milk running in, looks like the
stones Of grist- mill whirling at tremen-
dous rate, the wheat going in from the
hopper. Mr.. Darlington done his best to
make me comprehend the thing, and doubt
less would have succeeded if he had been
favored with a good subject to work upon.
This much understand: The milk, falling
on q cylinder revolving 1000 times in a
minute, is thrown off with great force, the
milk going furthest because it is heaviest.
and the lighter oily portions, falling short,

ately impurities are separated from the
cream, and are gathered by themselves in a

these, the centrifugal separator is in the
line of exquisite nicely.
The cream is left for three or four days
standing in water (Which passes through

churned twice awcek, put into pound pack
ages, stamped, rolled up in paper, and sent
to customers as fast as made; protected in
hot weather by vessels having apartments
containing ice. By close attention to all
the details, Messrs. Darlington have orders
for all the butter they make at prices which
seem fabulous to people who think one way
is about as good as another.
They buy most of their hay, and are now
receiving it from western New York. They
decidedly prefer early-cut, we'll cured, red

The dairy business is the only branch of
farming in which the principle of cooper
alive effort hss been successfully employed.
There is no question that factory products
both of butter and cheese are superior in
quality to the average of private manu-
facture. Making good butter and cheese
is an art requiring skill, care, and cleanli-
ness. In large factory the product is i'm
portant enough to pay for these, while in a
small dairy they are considered often of
too little consequence to be looked after.

The Bloody Apaches in Florida.

Herbert WEIGH, corresponding secretary
Of the Indian Rights association, recently
went to Florida to obtain reliable infor-
nation concerning tho Apache Indians i'm.
prisoned in the old Spanish fort in St.
Augustine. Mr.. Welch says:
OF the ninety men, only thirty have been
guilty OF any recent 1nisdoing, (thess were
with Geronimo on his recent raid) while
most OF the remainder were employed in
our army as regularly commissioned
scouts. That these men should have been
imprisoned on the same footing with those
Indians who were at war with the United
States, is fact we'll calculated to at
tract attention. A noble effort is being
made for the instruction of the Apache
men in English speaking and simple studies
by some Of tho ladies of st. Augustine.
Upon the occasion OF my visit found them
busily engaged teaching twenty-five full
grown men with primers and blackboard.
Bishop Whipple, distinguished for SO many
years as friend of the Indians, at the

tragedy,
G. W. Argo of Lemars, on tehalf of the
defense. He Said: The defendant enters
the plea OF mot guilty." and in the eyes of
the law he is innocent until positive proof
OF guilt is established. Counsel gave briet
history OF Arensdorf's life, differing some
what from previous statements. He was
born in Belgium in 1851. At the age of
fourteen years he was apprenticed to a
brewer. In 1871 he came to America, and
in 1877 he was selected by Mr.. Franz to be
the foreman OF his brewery in this city,
which position he has since held. At Mr.
Franzs death the brewery was conveyed
to stock company and Arensdorf
was given share OF the stock He
has lived here ten years and es-
tablished a character for honesty and
peaceableness. On the evening of the mur-
der it will be proven by the defense that
Arensdorf was not present at the time and
place, that he knew nothing Of the event
until after it's occurrence. No one accused
the defendant until the so-called confession
of Fl. L. Leavitt. Leavitt sought by per-
jury to divert attention from himself. He
is the principal witness. He came here
